Project Team and Management Structure
Staffing
An Executive Director will ensure smooth coordination of Hangar2 for all users and tenants and will be supported by a facilities director, administrative staff, and maintenance personnel.
Evaluation
We will use a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools, including tracking participation rates, to effectively monitor progress toward our mission. However, the true impact will be realized throughout the lifetime of our kids as they develop into adults and, in turn, give back to their communities.
Management Structure
The program providers, under the governance of the Board of Directors, will independently operate their programs while sharing the overarching objective for the positive development of youth.
Campaign Leadership Team
Capital fundraising and oversight for the design, permitting, and construction related to the renovation of Hangar2 are led by our Board of Directors and select Board Advisors.
Operations Forecast
Operations will be primarily funded through special events, memberships, and leases/rentals to independent recreational activity providers. We will engage in ongoing fundraising initiatives to fund public access and scholarship activities.
Project Team
To support the Board, Advisors and other committees, we have engaged a team of architectural, engineering, construction, activity programming, legal and fundraising experts, many having worked on adaptive building renovations in Magnuson Park.
The team behind Hangar2 is a diverse group of entrepreneurs, business and technology leaders, designers, coaches, coaches of coaches, collegiate All-Americans, former professional athletes, World Champions and Olympians.
While Seattle is home, we hail from all over the country and represent a wide variety of upbringings, from comfortable to challenging. We are black, brown, white, male, female, young and middle-aged.
Most of us are parents, others soon to be.
